Market Farming

["Wiediger, Alison" <awiediger AT HART.k12.ky.us>]

Good Monday morning!

We have looked at this question for a year or so now, and I don't think we
are alone in weighing whether we do the organic certification or not.  We do
believe that if we do not certify organic, that whatever we LABEL ourselves,
should be a label that a lot of us share to aid in the education of
consumers process.  To that end, have any of you read the article in the
current issue of Mother Earth News by Eliot Coleman? He suggests the term
"Authentic Food" and has a list of how food would qualify as such.  He
invites all growers to join him in using the term. One of the folks from the
Kerr Center brought it to our attention, and we thought we'd pass it along
for more conversation.  Any thoughts?
